Mark has run a small business in San Francisco for 40 years. He lives in Noe Valley, and would be the first gay Mayor in San Francisco history.

It’s time to shake up City Hall!

We have a choice in this election — keep with the status quo, or vote for fundamental change. Mark Leno believes it’s time for change. He’s running for Mayor to shake up City Hall, embrace bold new ideas, and lead a regional effort to combat our toughest challenges including homelessness and the housing crisis.

CHANGE THE STATUS QUO AT CITY HALL

Mark was the first candidate to issue a Fair Campaign Pledge renouncing all Super PACs and outside committees in the election for Mayor. He will clean up City Hall, reducing the influence of lobbyists, Super PACs and wealthy insiders.

ESTABLISH MENTAL HEALTH JUSTICE CENTER

We need to stop recycling homeless people through the criminal justice system and treat those with chronic mental health and substance abuse issues. Mark is taking the lead to establish a Mental Health Justice Center — a huge step forward in our efforts to address homelessness and the suffering on our streets.

CREATE 50,000 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Mark passed the first law requiring market-rate developers to build affordable housing, creating thousands of new affordable units. As Mayor he will lead a regional effort to build housing, and will create 50,000 affordable, workforce, and permanent supportive housing units in San Francisco in the next ten years.

STOP THE EPIDEMIC OF CAR BREAK-INS

Our city’s response to car break-ins is a bad joke. Mark will establish a property crime unit in every district police station, increase foot patrols and community policing, and hold our public safety leaders accountable.

DEFEND SAN FRANCISCO AGAINST TRUMP

A civil rights leader who passed landmark laws for equality, Mark will stand up to Donald Trump and his hateful agenda attacking people of color, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ San Franciscans.

We support Leno for SF Mayor
